Time: 4 pm
Location: Linn Presbyterian Church in Lake Geneva
Theme: Stewardship of our Time
Leaders: Jeremy and Hansi Bryan
Jeremy will offer his reflections on "Searching for Sabbath: how my quest for rest changed my relationship to time.” As Jeremy explains, “My life was a circus of anxiety. It often stunted my spiritual growth. Once it reached a relational and vocational crisis point, my family and I, on the counsel of a mentor, decided to take an extended Sabbath in a new place to reorient. That season of rest opened us up to dimensions of peace and friendship we never knew before. It was peace that didn’t depend on our feelings or our understanding, but from trust in the Trinity. Sabbath became a gateway drug to an intoxicating prayer life, a fun family life, and a rich community life. We learned that sabbath isn’t so much a day as a way—a moveable feast, a Spirit-indwelled tabernacle that moved with us. Sabbath is about finding home on the way through rhythms of prayer, friendship, and mission. In this way, our beings, our time, and our relationships become the fully furnished temple of the Trinity."
